# Search

> Use Search to ask Cowork a question, find pages, prompts, workflows, and files, or jump to any screen in Slate.

Search is Slate's command palette. Use it to find things in your workspace, jump to a screen, or hand a question to Cowork.

## Why It Matters

You can reach any screen, or start a Cowork conversation, from wherever you are in Slate.

## Where to Find It

* Click **Search** at the top of the sidebar.
* Press **⌘K** on Mac or **Ctrl+K** on Windows. Press it again to close Search.

The search box reads "Ask Slate Cowork, search pages, find actions, or jump to a feature…".

## Before You Type

Search opens with suggested questions under **Slate Cowork**, such as "Which keywords are losing rank?". Below them are links to Slate screens, settings, and workflow templates. Click a suggestion to ask Cowork that question.

## Search Results

As you type, results appear in groups:

| Group | What you find |
| - | - |
| **Slate Cowork** | A row to ask Cowork your question |
| **Navigation** | Slate screens and settings, such as Keywords, Brand Kit, Integrations, and Team settings |
| **Pages** | Your tracked pages |
| **Prompts** | Prompts you track in AI Visibility |
| **Actions** | Recommended work, which opens in Opportunities |
| **Workflows** | Workflow templates and your saved workflows |
| **Files** | Files in your Knowledge Base |
| **Help** | Help topics about Slate features |
| **Agent runs** | Past agent runs that match your text |

Results that fit no group, such as sheets and AI Visibility topics, appear under **Other**.

## Ask Cowork From Search

1. Type your question.
2. Select **Ask Slate Cowork: "your question"** and press **Enter**.
3. Slate opens Cowork and starts a conversation with your question.

Cowork grounds its answer in your prompts, pages, citations, and workspace docs. If you open Search while viewing a Cowork conversation, your question continues that conversation.

## Quick Answers

After you type three or more characters, Search may show a quick answer above the results. A quick answer can be a short reply, numbered steps, or a note that Cowork can help.

Buttons under the answer open the related screen or hand the work to Cowork, such as **Start with Slate Cowork** or **Analyze with Slate Cowork**. When Slate is confident in its quick answer, the **Ask Slate Cowork** row can disappear. Use the quick answer's buttons instead.

## Keyboard Shortcuts

| Key | Action |
| - | - |
| **⌘K** / **Ctrl+K** | Open or close Search |
| **↑** / **↓** | Move through quick-answer buttons and results |
| **Enter** | Select the highlighted item |
| **Esc** | Close Search |

The first item is highlighted by default. If you press **Enter** right after typing, Slate runs the first quick-answer button. With no quick answer, it selects the top result, usually **Ask Slate Cowork**.

## Troubleshooting

* **"Search is unavailable. You can still ask Slate Cowork."** Results didn't load. Select the **Ask Slate Cowork** row to send your question anyway.
* **"No results."** Try fewer or different words, or ask Cowork.
